At one time, I had patches so this rc.subr would lose this and just get 
the information directory from pkgsrc/mk/platform/*mk (and Linux.mk there 
appears to be correct).

It has been three years, but my pkgsrc-wip version wip/rc.subr has:

_RCCMD_su="@SU@"

and that is defined at package build time.

I thought I asked for any okay to commit my improvements but never 
received any answer. Anyone care if I improve this?
